Banchory Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Less than 20 miles from Aberdeen, Banchory Golf Club has a long history of delivering a great parklands golf option to Scotland. Built in 1905 and originally designed by John Souter, Banchory has the antiquity and location to make it a popular outing both for locals, as well as those who have hooked up a Scotland golf package.
Set above the scenic River Dee, Banchory is a scenic par 69 layout that will challenge golfers of all levels. Because while not particularly long at just over 5,801 yards, strategically placed bunkers, mature trees and the waters of the River Dee provide obstacles that can test low handicappers as well as high.
Including a memorable clubhouse, as well as lessons from the club pro, Banchory Golf Club has stood up to the test of time for more than 100 years, and seems to get better every year.

This golf course is fantastic. The greens are carpet like and a credit to the green keepers.. I would defo recommend this course.
A nice course in Deeside
Banchory is a nice course to play. We were just unfortunate that it rained all the way round. We carried on regardless as it wasn't cold and not a breath of wind it was the first time my husband had played it and he said he would certainly return but on a dry day. Unfortunately we can't predict the weather in Scotland..
Good greens but fairways burnt.
The greens were in good condition but a bit slow because of the length of the grass. Many of the fairways were scorched due to the recent sunny weather.
Course was in excellent condition. Very well maintained. Couldn’t fault the course at all.
Not sure what's happened to a few of the greens as they weren't great for this time of year but apart from that as usual the course is a good test.
No game
Unfortunately the course was closed due to flooding. Can you refund me please.
LOVELY BEAUTIFUL GOLF VIEWS
1st time playing BANCHORY Golf Course, would definitely recommend this lovely well maintained golf course. Drive the ball well and you can definitely score, tight tree lined fairways, very good challenging par 3’s.
Staff and members very friendly, I would play course again.
Course layout
Beautiful course however I did feel that a couple of the holes ran parallel causing a few incidents.
Banchory
Lovely course and we had a lovely snack in a social distanced setting in the beautiful club house
Good course
Arrived early and was able to tee off straight away. First 5 or 6 holes were good but then caught up with end of ladies medal. From then on pace of play was ridiculously slow so much so that I walked off after the 16th. It was a shame really because it was a lovely day on a nice course. The course itself was in great condition easy walking and not too difficult. I would like to play it again.
Great value
Forgiving course in great condition, challenging par 3,s.Overall in great condition with very friendly stall, recommended.
Nice Course
First time at Banchory for me, and I wasn’t disappointed.
Considering time of year (late April) Course was in good condition, and very dry. Greens generally were very good, with consistent pace.
Round topped of with a cold shandy on the Clubhouse balcony, perfect end to a lovely day.
I will certainly return for another round.
